Why would two rematches that weren't competitive at all sell?

Why would two rematches that weren't competitive at all sell?

Mcgregor being a name would sell. Plus even Mcgregor himself knows that it was a fluke with his comments and he understands it was not a fight it was barely even a match. So there is good reasonable doubt and understandably so.

Nate beat Mcgregor and won a lot of fans. Casual fans don't care what happen in the past between these two.

I'm hearing both these matches are the next matches between the four men anyway. Plus if we all know one thing it's definitely gonna be on the UFC's shoulders on how they market these fights. The UFC refuses to not put in the money for the biggest night for them anyway.

that wasn't even his worst offence, the nonsense about being p4p above Jones (which idiots here were going to cosign if he beat diaz) was more egregious.

For sure he's been saying a lot of dumb shyt. LOL @ being in the same ballpark as Bones.

Im waiting for someone to ask Dana White about Nate's comments. Particularly about the selective pushes UFC gives fighters. I'm happy dude used this victory to address those kinds things instead of just gloating.

That would definitely sell

Feels like it should be Mcgregor/Edgar instead. Those two could sell that fight better verbally than Aldo, who has already been KO'ed in record time and had Conor generating all the casual interest in the first fight. Either would work though.

How bout da flips idea, nate finally was a team player for ufc, took da fight on short notice, gained a bunch of casual fans and got paid nicely I hear on da ppv buys. Around the range of 1-1.5m. Maybe if Nate wld stop insulting his boss and employers the ufc, shut up and jus be a company guy he wld have more success like this unlike his counter parts on his team, Jake shields, Gil, and his bro.
